Choose a Naples museum around your interests
A Naples museum day can focus on archaeology, a guided visit to Cappella Sansevero or the underground setting of Galleria Borbonica. Start with the experience you want, then separate ordinary museum admission from a guided activity. The offers on this page cover Sansevero and the Borbonica standard route. For MANN, use the independent admission information in the museum section rather than treating these offers as a ticket to the archaeological museum.
If your priority is Sansevero, our chapel booking guide explains its reserved entry and visiting rules. For a wider day in the city, add the Naples sights overview. Keeping the main indoor visit fixed and the rest of the day flexible avoids building an itinerary around several incompatible reservations.
Our picks: Museum visits
Our take: Sansevero visits combine entry with a guide, with an optional city walk on one booking. The Borbonica visit offers a different underground setting; check its admission details.

National Archaeological Museum: admission and exhibitions
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, usually shortened to MANN, is the archaeology choice in this comparison. Its published visitor information, checked in November 2026, gives opening hours of 09:00 to 19:30, with the ticket office closing at 18:30 and clearance beginning at 19:00. Tuesday is the regular closing day. When a designated special opening falls on Tuesday, the replacement closure is on Wednesday.
Adult admission is EUR 20, and visitors under 18 enter free. The day ticket covers the museum and current exhibitions. That makes it useful to think of MANN as a visit in its own right rather than an extra stop squeezed between tours. Individual collection access can vary: consult the museum's collection-opening programme if a particular room or object is central to your plans.
On the first Sunday of the month, general free admission follows different arrangements and online advance tickets are unavailable. The Egyptian collection, Gabinetto Segreto and Magna Grecia are closed on those general free days. A free date therefore needs a different plan from a normal paid visit, especially when your interest centres on one collection.
Sansevero or the Borbonica standard route
The Sansevero offers include chapel admission and a guide. One provides an authorized museum guide; another has an additional city-centre walk only when that option is purchased. Choose the chapel-focused visit for an indoor appointment, or the walking option when you want the surrounding city included in the same booking. The extra walk should be part of the selected option, not inferred from a general title.
Galleria Borbonica is an alternative underground setting. The standard-route activity includes a professional guide in English or Italian. Keep its booking scope separate from Sansevero admission and from MANN's museum day ticket. The site's standard-route rules require booking and describe a visit of about an hour. Other Borbonica routes have their own conditions; this comparison concerns the standard route.
For a closer comparison with the city's other underground sites, use our Naples underground guide. It helps keep distinct entrances and facilities separate when planning your day.
Artecard limits and a realistic museum day
Artecard comes in different Naples and Campania versions. Check participating places, included visits and discounted places for the exact pass rather than assuming every museum or guided activity is covered. Catacombs and Borbonica appear among discount locations on the Naples pass page. A reduction and an included admission are different benefits, and a guided product needs its own booking terms.
Activation is irreversible, and validity days end at midnight. A late activation therefore uses part of a calendar day. Transport also differs between pass versions: the seven-day Campania pass excludes transport, while other versions have defined networks and exclusions. Use the public transport guide alongside your museum plan before comparing a pass with separate admissions and travel tickets.
Questions about your visit
Do these offers include MANN admission?
The activities offered here visit Sansevero or the Borbonica standard route. Arrange MANN admission separately using the museum ticket information; it is a different venue and visit.
Can I rely on every MANN collection being open?
Plan around the current collection-opening programme, especially if a specific object is your reason for visiting. The ordinary day ticket and exhibition access do not promise that every collection is accessible throughout the day.
Which visit works alongside an old-town walk?
Sansevero can be paired with a city-centre walking option when that option is selected. For an independent walk, leave time between the chapel appointment and your next reservation rather than scheduling the entire day as consecutive timed entries.
